About Daniel Edwards

Sales Executive working for an industrial manufacturer with proven leadership skills developing new business, new products, overseeing major accounts, and building successful sales teams. I have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to negotiate large contracts and close multi-million-dollar deals. I have been influential and drove the development of two new product lines. I’ll admit that I simply like winning. In my mind, people come to us because they have a problem. They need help and, in my sales consultant-type role, I outline how we can be the solution. This approach has created numerous long-lasting business sales relationships and significantly added to the company’s bottomline revenues. I have moved the company from being totally dependent on using outside independent sales groups and added many internal sales team members. I have spearheaded this initiative and change plus hired, trained, mentored, and supervised these new sales reps. I’m currently interested in joining a company’s Board of Directors. I would be a very dedicated and committed board member because I am able to lead and influence others. I am also a terrific problem solver and able to make tough decisions. Straightforward, I’m a very tactful person who can bring a unique perspective and new ideas. If you have a Board position I should consider, please email me: D••••••••@gmail.com
